Dustin Neil Diamond (born January 7, 1977), better known as Dustin Diamond, is an American actor who gained fame during the 1990s as Screech, an extremely annoying and nerdy character in the popular television sitcom, Saved by the Bell. Diamond's character was well-known for wearing colorful Zubaz pants and sporting a huge poofy "white man's" afro.
Dustin Neil Diamond was named after singer Neil Diamond, a relation on his father's side. He was born in San Jose, California, and attended Zion Lutheran School in Anaheim. Diamond has kept busy professionally since the popular teenager sitcom was cancelled: He has been featured on a number of television shows, including The Weakest Link, and has participated in a celebrity boxing contest, and professional wrestling matches.
In 2003, Diamond alienated some of his fanbase by filing a lawsuit against the parody website DustinDiamond.com. He lost that case.
